Hope you enjoy! Btw “The Pickle Predicament” by DOT inspired this. Her version is better than this. [intro] I’m like a watcher… Story upon story… Yeah… [verse] Eyes made of glass, watching people pass, Tall on the corner, love whispers to the dealers last sale, I’m the silent overseer of Comptons tale. Cops chasing, sirens blaring, Kids playin tag, life’s drags on and I’m just staring. Giving light to the ones who can’t see in the night. [chorus] I’m a streetlight, cold bulb flicker in the rain, Casting truths on asphalt where the ghosts remain, Witness to the sermons in the silence of the block, Illuminate the sins nobody dares to talk. [verse] One day at as I’m lighting the night, See some kids in some masks and they lookin for a fight. A kid named Ben loadin a TEC-9, He checks the time, it’s nine, they hop in they cars and they drive away as demons chase them, They opened fire at the gas station. Ben went in as a 16 year old pillar, went out as a cold blooded killer. [chorus] I’m a streetlight, cold bulb flicker in the rain, Casting truths on asphalt where the ghosts remain, Witness to the sermons in the silence of the block, Illuminate the sins nobody dares to talk. [verse] I seen this story before, load, drive, aim, bullets hit the floor, run, escape, before the yellow tape. But I can’t do anything about that shit, I’m just a streetlight, bringing light to the pit. Where the demons run wild, golden black child’s smoke a mild, they ain’t wanna run that mile so they turn vile and they grab that cash, stash real fast, clash and crash, gangs get mad. I wish I could do something about it, But sometimes you can’t do anything about the fucked up shit. [chorus] I’m a streetlight, cold bulb flicker in the rain, Casting truths on asphalt where the ghosts remain, Witness to the sermons in the silence of the block, Illuminate the sins nobody dares to talk.
